Ministries

The Ministries are departments of the Union government. Each Ministry is controlled by a Core World and no Core World can control more than one Ministry. New Ministries can be created and old ones dissolved by law.

Currently, there are ministries of Commerce, Defence, Finance, Foreign Affairs and Justice. Together with the Union Chancellor, they form the cabinet.

Union Chancellor

The Union Chancellor is the official head of government for the Union and besides ruling in collaboration with the other Core Worlds, also performs many ceremonial functions.

Elections for the position of Chancellor are held every 20 according to the Union Electoral Process. Though it is done in collaboration with the other Core Worlds, the chancellor makes the agreements by which the different Ministries are assigned and they have some additional authority to cast the deciding vote in tied elections.

Currently, Dewa Lanadi holds the position of chancellor.
